This special-occasion casserole from Kayseri combines cubed beef with fresh mushrooms and dried apricots. Its sweet-savory balance makes it a standout main dish for guests.
Cook the beef in butter over medium heat for 10 minutes, until browned on all sides. Add the onion and cook for 8 more minutes.
Add the tomato, tomato paste, salt, and black pepper, then pour in the hot water. Cover and cook over low heat for 35 minutes.
Add the mushrooms and dried apricots, then cook over medium heat for 15 more minutes. The mushrooms should release their liquid and then absorb it.
If desired, divide the casserole among individual oven-safe dishes and bake in an oven preheated to 180°C / 355°F for 10 more minutes, until lightly browned.
Serve hot; rice makes a good accompaniment.
Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Reheat over low heat. Allergen: Contains milk and dairy products, according to the ingredient list. Check packaged ingredient labels for other allergens.
